About The Role:

TodayTix Group is seeking Engineer Interns to support our Product and Engineering organization during a 10 week internship this Spring/Summer 2024. This is an ideal opportunity for someone currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s degree program for Computer Science (or related) or a recent bootcamp graduate eager to take their next step into Software Engineering. In this role as a TTG Engineer Intern, you will help develop software, both internal and customer facing, which will help us sell tens of thousands of tickets daily.

TodayTix Group is a fast growing start-up and we are continually looking for ways to better support the increasing number of tickets delivered each day and the increasing variety of performances available to customers. Interns will tackle these challenges through developing new user features and internal tools that drive better user experiences and increased business efficiency.

In your day-to-day, you will be immersed within one of our cross-functional software development teams, working on a variety of different projects using a mix of languages, frameworks and tools. No specific language experience is necessary, just a passion for finding interesting and effective code-driven solutions to complex problems. By the end of the program, you will be positioned to effectively contribute in planning, communicating, and building features in any modern software engineering organization, at a global scale.
